The correct answer is option 3, Srisailam Dam.

Option 1, Ukai Dam, is incorrect. Ukai Dam is located in the Tapi River basin in Gujarat, not Krishna River.

Option 2, Krishnaraja Sagar Dam, is incorrect. Krishnaraja Sagar Dam, also known as KRS Dam, is located in the Cauvery River basin in Karnataka, not Krishna River.

Option 4, Mettur Dam, is incorrect. Mettur Dam is located in the Kaveri River basin in Tamil Nadu, not Krishna River.

The Srisailam Dam is indeed constructed across the Krishna River. It is a multipurpose dam located between the states of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh in India. It is built near the Srisailam town and serves various purposes like irrigation, hydroelectric power generation, and drinking water supply. The Krishna River flows through the dam, and it forms a reservoir known as Srisailam Reservoir. This dam plays a vital role in water management and development in the Krishna River basin.
